“He said it, and he also said Li Tao is a ghost!” Yuan Na pointed at Luo Chen and said, then showed a face waiting to watch a show. She did not just want to embarrass Luo Chen, she wanted to embarrass Zi Yuan even more. After all, Zi Yuan had just listened to Luo Chen’s words and was unwilling to leave with her in Li Tao’s car. Moreover, this Tang Long actually had real skills, absolutely not the kind of charlatan found in the streets. Tang Long shifted his gaze to Luo Chen, looked him up and down, and revealed an extremely unfriendly expression in his eyes.
“Brother, on what grounds do you say this amulet of the Tang family is fake?”
“And on what grounds do you say this perfectly fine living person is a ghost?” Tang Long pointed at the silent Li Tao inside the car.
Although he, Tang Long, was not a true Yin Yang master, he was just an employee in the same company as Yuan Na. However, his father was a Yin Yang master. Having been influenced by this since childhood, he actually had some skills of his own. Although Li Tao was sitting inside the car, through the faint light, it was still possible to see that this was absolutely a living person!
“No grounds needed. If I say it is fake, it is fake.”
“If I say he is not a human, he is not a human.” Luo Chen could not be bothered to explain.
If it were not for Zi Yuan’s sake, Luo Chen would not even bother speaking to these two people.
“Hmph, the dignified son of a Yin Yang master is right here, yet you still dare to speak nonsense?” Yuan Na added dissatisfiedly.
“I think you are just talking rubbish. As a member of a Yin Yang master family, how could I not be able to tell whether this is a human or a ghost?”
“Let alone a ghost, even a trace of Yin energy could not escape my dharma eyes.”
“You are just an ordinary person who has not even opened the third eye, what do you know?”
“This is clearly a living person, how could the amulet react?” Tang Long also questioned.
“Embarrassed now, are we?” Yuan Na sneered.
“Are we supposed to believe you, a person of unknown origin, instead of believing the person from a Yin Yang master family?”
“I am afraid only a fool would believe you,” Yuan Na mocked. This sentence was actually mocking Zi Yuan, because Zi Yuan had clearly believed Luo Chen’s words just now. She deliberately brought Tang Long here, wanting to slap the faces of Luo Chen and Zi Yuan.
“Young man, do not talk rubbish in the future. You should know that some words carry responsibility when spoken.”
“You know nothing, yet you dare to discuss ghosts and gods in front of my Yin Yang master family?” Tang Long said disdainfully, his words full of sarcasm.
Just as these words landed, a broadcast interruption came from Tang Long’s Passat.
“Now interrupting with a news update. An hour ago, a speeding car crash occurred on the southern section of Furong Avenue. A Nan A141414 Buick skidded on a bend due to speeding, causing a crash. A young person in the car died on the spot.”
“All drivers are requested to drive cautiously in rainy weather and must not speed!”
A Nan A141414 Buick?
An hour ago?
Died on the spot?
Yuan Na shuddered all over, her mind buzzing, and after freezing for three seconds, she hurriedly scrambled out of the car using both hands and feet. If he died an hour ago, what was there to say about the Li Tao currently in the car? Tang Long’s expression also changed drastically. He looked at Li Tao in the car in horror. He truly had not seen any problem with this Li Tao.
How was this possible?
The surrounding streetlights went completely dark in an instant.
This was the Ghost Festival in the middle of the seventh lunar month, a day when ten thousand ghosts travel.
“Come on, come with me. Why are you not getting in the car yet?”
“Nana, come with me. It is time.” Li Tao’s voice came out, but that was absolutely not a human voice. It was a piercing sound that made one’s scalp tingle, like someone scratching glass with their fingernails.
Yuan Na screamed in fright and hurriedly hid behind Tang Long, but Tang Long himself was so scared that his face turned pale. Only Zi Yuan, although clearly feeling afraid, maintained a completely normal expression and behaviour, and her face did not even change colour.
Luo Chen looked at Zi Yuan with appreciation, then turned his gaze to a place in the distance.
There was a huge dark shadow there. Right before everyone’s eyes, a massive chain came out of thin air, wrapped around Li Tao’s car in an instant, and pulled both the person and the car into the darkness.
The light returned in an instant, and both the car and the person were gone.
Under the streetlights, only Tang Long’s Passat remained.
Luo Chen did not speak again, nor was there any need to say anything at this moment. He just watched the chain disappear into the darkness with great interest. It seemed this Nanling was quite interesting. Even though it was the Ghost Festival, this ghost actually dared to be so brazen.
Yuan Na was already scared half to death, while Tang Long’s face was burning with shame, his head lowered. After all, as someone from a Yin Yang master family, he had lost face today.
A living ghost was right in front of his eyes, yet he had repeatedly insisted it was a human. Moreover, as a member of a Yin Yang master family, Tang Long’s legs were trembling at this moment. He was actually afraid.
He was not even as good as a little girl like Zi Yuan, which made it even more embarrassing. Finally, Tang Long, with a flushed face, did not continue to say anything. He called out to Yuan Na, and Yuan Na followed Tang Long, preparing to get into the car.
“Nana, he did save us after all. Should we not at least say thank you?” Zi Yuan suddenly reminded her.
Not mentioning it was fine, but once mentioned, Yuan Na felt as if she had been slapped across the face. After all, she had wanted to embarrass Luo Chen and Zi Yuan, but she did not expect that she would be the one embarrassed in the end. Moreover, she was somewhat responsible for this matter. After all, it was she who called Li Tao to come, and it was she who kept urging Li Tao. Now Li Tao had met with an accident. However, Yuan Na suddenly thought that with her father’s connections, this matter should not have too much of an impact on her.
“Thank you!” Yuan Na said through gritted teeth, but she cast a look at Zi Yuan that said, “You are just being meddlesome.”
“Zi Yuan, do you know him?” Tang Long suddenly turned his head and asked somewhat unwillingly. After all, today was not just about losing face. Their family’s amulet was said to be able to suppress evil ghosts. It was obtained from Longhu Mountain. As a result, it did not have the slightest reaction even when sitting in the same car as a ghost. This was quite awkward.
In the line of work of a Yin Yang master, reputation and credibility were too important. Although Yuan Na said nothing at this moment, she would definitely talk about it when she got home. After all, buying a fake item for over ten thousand would make anyone uncomfortable, especially since Yuan Na’s family background was not simple. After this matter, District Head Yuan would definitely go looking for trouble.
Moreover, if this was mentioned at the company tomorrow, he, a dignified member of a Yin Yang master family, could not even recognise a ghost. That would be a truly massive loss of face. Most importantly, Tang Long had actually had a crush on Zi Yuan for a long time. He had originally wanted to show off some things about his Yin Yang master family in front of Zi Yuan today. As a result, he had lost a lot of face in front of Zi Yuan.
However, he blamed all of this on Luo Chen. He made up his mind that if he knew Zi Yuan, he would definitely find an opportunity to deal with Luo Chen later.
“I do not know him.”
“Thank you. By the way, my name is Zi Yuan. What is your name?” Zi Yuan generously reached out her hand, showing a sincere attitude of gratitude.
“Luo Chen.” Luo Chen answered simply and shook hands with Zi Yuan.
“You actually have the surname Luo?”
“You share the same surname as Luo Wuji.” Zi Yuan’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“That is me.” Luo Chen smiled.
But suddenly, a dissatisfied voice came again.
“You really dare to speak. You even dare to impersonate the name of Luo Wuji?”
